SUMMARY:#2026APPAM
DESCRIPTION:\n	\n		\n			Fifty States, Fifty Systems:\nState Policy Variations and Impacts\nNovember 5 – 7 | Marriott Copley Place | Boston, Mass.\nThe US federalist system of government assigns substantial authority to states to create and implement policies. At this time, as the federal government’s role is shrinking, the role of state policy is even more important. Ideally, states make laws based on the unique needs and conditions of their state; however, throughout history and continuing today, state policies vary considerably in their reach and generosity, and not always in ways consistent with the economic, environmental, or social needs of states, but rather in the ideology of state leaders. Measuring state-level variation and its impact on well-being is more important now than ever, and policy scholars bear responsibility for it.\n\n    Registration and Travel\n\n\n    Online Program\n\n\n		\n	\n\n	\n		\n			Important Dates\n\n\n\nSubmissions Open\nFebruary 2026\n\n\nSponsorship Opportunities Open\nApril 2026\n\n\nSubmissions Close\nApril 22, 2026\n\n\nRegistration Opens\nLate July 2026\n\n\nAccept/Reject Notifications Sent\nLate July 2026\n\n\nParticipant Registration Deadline\nSeptember 2026\n\n\n\n\n		\n	\n\n	\n		\n			Online Program\nBuilding your conference schedule: New in 2026, to consolidate the schedules created in the online program and the mobile app, you are no longer able to create your schedule in All Academic.
